I ran across this link on a friend of mines Flickr site (Deborah Lattimore) which reminded me to share this. All of my photographs are subject to US Copyright laws, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. To do so, you need to file them with the US Copyright office. Here is a link to the forms.

Having an iPhone makes listening and watching podcasts VERY enjoyable! I used to just listen to them and now I just load them up. One of my favorites that I listen to now and recommend to any budding or professional photographer to listen to is "This Week in Photography" It really has a nice array of commentary, chat about new cameras of all sorts (not just the expensive ones I can't afford), great tips, great guest speakers talking about techniques or products. The hosts, Scott and Alex, really have a great show here. btw - I don't receive any compensation for saying this!

For those of you who don't know-- you don't need an ipod to listen to a podcast. Just download iTunes and you can 'subscribe' to the podcast directly in iTunes. It will download, automatically update when there is a new one and is all you need. I listen to my podcasts with my iphone connected to my car stereo via a cassette adapter. It works great.

Here is a great tip on there website called "Background, Background, Background." I love the quote from the site "It was my way of reminding them that the best subject in the world, placed in front of a crappy background, leads to a crappy photo." - I really wish someone had told me this sooner!

The Pacific Art League just finished up the June Landscape exhibits with over 65 pieces. My 24x32" "Nature's Firefall" took second place, and my "Last Images of The Grant Road Farm" took third! I was pretty excited!!

This months exhibition is "Abstracts." There are over 100 pieces on display. I am exhibiting 5 pieces this month including some of my Hard Textures and Colors collection. For more information on the exhibit, check out the Pacific Art League website.

About Me

I am a Computer Security guy by day and Nature and Landscape photographer by night. I love shooting in Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, the California coastline and any other place around! John Harrison is a Nature and Landscape photographer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m a landscape guy! I love chasing sunrises & sunsets, moon-rises and moon-sets, water in motion, waterfalls, and capturing vibrant colors and textures in nature. I try to capture the mood of the scene and love how the light interacts with the scene resulting in an image that just takes you there.

You can contact me through my John Harrison Photography website, Google+, my Facebook page, or email. My images are for sale to individual and healthcare and corporate collectors. You can see my images on display through many locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
